Är framtiden här? : En undersökning kring AI-konstens relation till kreativitet

Sammanfattning: The purpose of the thesis is to investigate and draw attention to current discussions around the use of artificial intelligence to produce images, as well as to examine different ways to perceive the relationship between artificial intelligence and creativity. The thesis’ theoretical framework consists of an account on the historical understanding of the concepts regarding creativity and art, as well as the theories that have dominated the Western world in terms of understanding the internal processes of creativity and art. Six articles published by various newspapers regarding AI-generative art have been examined by use of a modified Toulmin method. The result shows that the authors behind the articles regard AI-generative art to be considered as art and the process to be creative. Their view seems to indicate that the relationship between creativity and artificial intelligence may have several societal and ethical implications that need to be addressed in the future.
